Buying new glass tank.

Oh ya, having fish in the tank wouldn't have presented an additional challenge for sure. Although I probably could have just tossed in a heater and sponge filter to tide them over.
So now we're back to painting.
I remember being leery of the way the overflow gaskets fit. THIS time I'll be siliconing the bejesus outta them!

Nice job on the outside drain work! You may want to consider adding a screen to that vent outside to prevent animals from getting inside including insects that would find it homey.
Thanks.
Ya, I thought of that but the drain ends at a closed valve. There isn't a path to get inside.
And if something does crawl up the pipe (and I'm sure they have in my 300 drain over the past two years) they're gonna get a nice water slide ride once I open the valve. Man, that thing really flows!

Just admiring your plumbing job - super clean. must have taken a lot of figuring to get it all right - I used similar disconnects and ball valves on my 250g - makes it easy to tear apart if needed. I have a fish room behind my tank so did not have to engineer as much as yours - great job. as for the paint, that's **** luck - I have seen guys use dark limo tint or mirror tint you get from lowes or home depot and just sticks on with some soap and water, have also heard of guys using vinyl wrap as well -never have to worry about scratching or peeling
Anything crawling up that pipe is going for a ride on thunder mountain…
